Thymosin
In the human immune system by stimulating Lymphocytes T.
T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes

The Thymus is involved in the maturation of T Lymphocytes.
Lymphocytes develop in the bone marrow, until they are differentiated into their specific type - T cell, B cell or Natural Killer cell. B cells mature into B lymphocytes in the bone marrow, aided by the hormone interleukin-7. T cells migrate to the thymus, where they mature into, you guessed it, T l ymphocytes, aided by several hormones - interleukin-1, interleukin-4, interleukin-6, thymosin, thymopoietin, and thymulin. I'd be interested to know why you need to know this.
CD8+ T cells divide and differentiate into cytotoxic T lymphocytes.
The thymus gland produces a hormone called thymosin, which helps in the development and maturation of T-lymphocytes in the immune system.
T lymphocytes undergo their final maturation in the thymus, hence why they are called 'T cells'.
No, thymus is an endocrine gland it secretes hormone named as thymosins which play an important role in the development differentiation and maturation of T lymphocytes
